Systems and methods for transitional effects in real-time rendering applications are described. Some implementations may include rendering a computer-generated reality environment in a first state using an application that includes multiple processes associated with respective objects of the computer-generated reality environment; generating a message that indicates a change in the computer-generated reality environment; sending the message to two or more of the multiple processes associated with respective objects of the computer-generated reality environment; responsive to the message, updating configurations of objects of the computer-generated reality environment to change the computer-generated reality environment from the first state to a second state; and rendering the computer-generated reality environment in the second state using the application.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
4. The system of claim 1, wherein the application includes a simulation process that coordinates objects of the computer-generated reality environment and renders views of the computer-generated reality environment, and the message is sent by the simulation process.
6. The system of claim 1, wherein the message includes a configuration category and corresponding configuration value.
7. The system of claim 1, wherein the message includes an indication of weather for the computer-generated reality environment.
8. The system of claim 1, wherein the message includes an indication of time of day for the computer-generated reality environment.
9. The system of claim 1, wherein the message includes an indication of a room type for the computer-generated reality environment.
10. The system of claim 1, wherein the message is sent using event-based signaling.
11. The system of claim 1, wherein the message is sent via an inter-process message queue.
12. The system of claim 1, wherein the message is generated based on user input received via a user interface.
13. The system of claim 1, wherein the application is a computer-generated reality application.
14. The system of claim 1, wherein multiple developers respectively control code implementing the multiple processes associated with the respective objects of the computer-generated reality environment, but the message enables a single user to implement a high-level configuration change across the respective objects of the computer-generated reality environment.
18. The method of claim 15, wherein the application includes a simulation process that coordinates objects of the computer-generated reality environment and renders views of the computer-generated reality environment, and the message is sent by the simulation process.
